Hey Girls,
Well I just ordered a corset on ebay this weekend but don't have any experience with them. I am looking forward to getting it on for the first time but any suggestions on wearing one and what to expect?

Better posture and learning how to cope with less air. But in return for less air you can get your figure to look amazing. Who needs air anyways? =P
Very true. Is the less air thing a long term deal or just while wearing?
And I am looking forward to the better looking figure hope it really makes my breasts look good! I will post pics when i get it in.

Less air, and less food. I ate a way-too-big meal in my corset last night and was in some serious distress until I could get somewhere to loosen it a bit. But it's also a great aid to dieting if you are committed about wearing one every day. The corset gets more comfortable and shapely the skinnier you get, at the same time that it helps remind you not to eat too much.Originally Posted by Jamie-Lynn

Ok I'm not real good at this if I wear a 34 in men jeans should I order a 30. I'm not sure where to measure my "waist" don't really have a waist line if ya get my drift hoping the corset will make me a waist line. Really appreciate all your help and patience.

surf this sight .
surf the links too.
in three weeks you'll know way more about corsets
Yes, I DO understand. However, if u have a 38" waist and order a 30" corset, you're going to be disappointed, Diva! 34 is probably closer to your HIP SIZE? That's where most men where their jeans. WHATEVER your waist measures, I recommend u order a corset 4" to 6" smaller than that. Don't expect to crank MORE than 6" in off your tummy. And, even THAT could hurt u rite off the bat! Before your body's used to a corset! I had one on today for the first time in months. It hurt like heck until I got re-acclimated!
U can't keep doing the same things over and over and expect to enjoy life to the max. When u try new things, even if they r out of your comfort zone, u may experience new excitement and growth that u never expected.
Challenge yourself and pursue your passions! When your life clock runs out, you'll have few or NO REGRETS!
Yes but where exactly is that measurement to be taken?? At bellybutton? Above? Below? Yes where male jeans would rest would be the hips. As with me, I have never had a reason to measure the waist measurement so where exactly is it??

I bought two corsets online and had no luck. After some arguing I went into a lingerie store locally and told the lady what I needed and she said they were CD frindly and fully suprted me. Buying everything there now!!
It's mild discomfort while putting it on and then once it's off your fine. But I think I have mine too tightly laced and is mildly crushing.
Expect it to be tight!It will be a little bit harder to breathe and it will be a little bit uncomfortable if you go out to dinner and have a big meal. If you're wearing high heels (say 4" or above) expect your lower back to ache after about 2 hours. Also if you have it pulled in tight when you take it off at the end of the night it might hurt a little on your lower ribs. If it's really tight, then expect a bruise on your lower rib in a day or two. All the things I've just mentioned are based upon what actually happened to me. That said, I love my corset (when I wear it) because as others have said, it gives you and awesome hour glass figure (with boob and hip padding too) Tight corsets are great!

Yeah!! I love my 6 corsets!! I wear mine 20 hours a day,/6 days a week... Tight lacing. And over the years its changed my body.. Really works. Moving internal organs around and has shrunk my rob cage to 35". My waist can now cinch to 27". There's a lot involved. Just wearing one once in a while is mostly like wearing shape wear. It will pull in your gut. But over the long tern you will get an hour glass figure... Some thing to know. Cinch it tighter before bed since you loose fluids at night and it will loosen.. Alternately don't lace it too tight in the morning since you expand during the day. And it can get really painful if you are in a place where you can't loosen it some! Really hurts!!! What brand did you get? I've found that anything under $100 is made too poorly to be worn 24/7 for long. Before it starts coming apart.. PM me and I'll send you some links to my photos...
Well just went for the cheap to start off with to see if I like it probably something cheap from china. If I like it I may save some money and go to a local shop to see what they have available. And will do on the PM
- Sarah
Well Never mind on the PM for some reason this thing won't allow me to view other's profiles and PM them yet. Any ideas why?
- Sarah
Cheap ones are fun! I started buying mine locally. At a couple exotic lingerie shops. Trying them on and having an SA lace you up is worth the money! Lol.
Just got through playing hockey. I'll PM you after I get a few hours sleep.
When they say order 4 to 6 inches less than your waist size where do you measure your waist? Somewhere near your belly button?
I have a dozen corsets. It's a nice secure feeling article of clothing that can correct posture and draw attention to your waist. I prefer underbust corsetry/waist cinchers because you can wear a bra or tshirt above. Just make sure the boning is quality and the laces are decent.
I'd also advise waiting until your arrival before tightening the lacing as it's difficult to drive without oxygen.
Very true driving without air could prove difficult. However I don't wear out that often primarily just at home for now. I don't have the patients to try and do myself up in a manner that would be passable. I have worn a bra under shirts before in public but try to not be too noticeable.

Do most corsets have hooks in the front or do they have to be laced every time. Reason I ask is I need something I can put on by myself. I have been looking at this one http://www.crossdresser.com/product_...atID=7&Search=
The last corset I bought was hooks at the front, lacing at the back. Once you get the lacing tight enough for your form, then you can leave that alone, and simply do up the hooks. If you do a search, there are a number of methods of doing up the lacing even tighter (if that's the look you're going for) such as by using your bedroom or bathroom doorknob, when there's no one around to help you.
I could not tell you cause corsets are something that GG's used to wear,ie like my mothers age, I have never had one on, nor would i. The concept goes completely against nature, just put alittle muscle power into the look you want. That being, eat healthy and do at least one hour of aerobics, i mean hard core, very elevated heart rate and you will get the desire look, without compressing vital organs, which is exactly what a cordet does, not to mention it ruins what core muscles you may have by doing the work for them and making them lax
They are fun and even more fun if you can have somebody help you lace it up!
If you want to wear a corset because they are pretty/sexy and don't really need it for shape control, a cheap and pretty one will do it you don't intend on lacing it up tight. But if you wear a corset to slim your waist (or create one - I speak from experience) a good one is a must, and you have to shell out the money for a good one.
I make custom fit corsets for men and women all the time. I use only steel boning and busks in my work, and before cutting the GOOD fabric, I always make a fitting pattern to ensure that I have a proper fit. Karren Hutton is right, anything that costs less than $100.00 (US) is NOT WORTH IT, they are most likely made with cheap plastic boning which offer NO support or holding ability, they will buckle at contact points, and will NOT give you the desired effect for longer than the time it takes for you to move your position. Do yourself a favor and invest in a properly made, well fitting corset and follow the rules for "corset training" and you will eventually give yourself the hour-glass figure or wasp-waist you desire. I adore my corset and when I do get to wear it, my wife cinches me down from a 38 inch waist to a 34 inch waist. Although, I have been losing weight so it may be time for me to get a new one.
Someone once told me "Put on Your big girl panties and deal with it". If they only knew, I WAS ALREADY WEARING THEM.
I wear the bras and panties so my wife doesn't have to.

Well it is pretty much this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sexy-Blue-Co...ht_3944wt_1085
Yes I know it is cheap made in china crap but like I said I just want to try one one that is economical for me and then if I like it I will invest in a good one. Probably about a month or two down the road.
Thank you for all the advice. I will keep everyone up to date on it I did get an email that it is in the mail so hopefully not too much longer!!
